Subseries III.1: Boycotted Goods and Services, 1933-1942
- Scope and content:
-
This subseries is comprised of an alphabetical file of product and service categories. It documents the NSANL's efforts to identify specific goods and services sold by German companies, create and share boycott lists, and find suitable alternatives. Many of the files contain letters from concerned individuals asking for copies of the lists or for help in replacing German supplies with American-made items. Many also asked the NSANL to verify that specific products were not made in Germany or that particular companies did not have German ties. The NSANL's responses are included, and in some case the research material is present as well. To search for companies or individuals by name within the broader categories, refer to the index card file in boxes 409-410.
